Item:172360847995Novelty Elephant Sewing Measuring Tape Pincushion Vintage 1950s Ceramic. Fantastic novelty sewing measuring tape/pincushion and scissors holder! All in one super-cute figural elephant! Undated/unstamped/unbranded, but my estimation is that this is 1950s or 1960s. Hollow ceramic figurine with a replacement plastic base cover. Measuring tape pulls out from one side of the base, and is marked on both sides in inches only. (one side has red text, the side black text). The scissors you see here came with this when I bought it, are marked 'Japan' to the outside of the blades and have a thick red plastic coating to their handles. Several minor chips to the elephant and measuring tape in place but does not pull out, i.e. appears stuck. I don't want to pull on it for fear it will break. Significant wear to the red pincushion top, as shown. Height 6". Pickup and combined post available.

Condition:Intact with several minor chips. Measuring tape in place but does not come out- see pics and read description for full details
